I watched a bunch of old twilight zone as a kid. I never watched new versions, because critics always had a lot negative to say about them, and I personally only sorta enjoyed the classics. They did stick with me, the classic ones, even when kid-me didn’t like them. They’re influential.

Honestly, if I was starting now, I’d just find a list of best episodes and watch those first, and if you are super into them, then you know you’ll probably enjoy the less notable ones. You can watch them out of order. The most famous ones are good to watch just to understand the many modern references to them.
